Keto to drop body fat and preserve muscle

m_cowley

Hi,
I'm looking into keto to drop some BF, but keep muscle, leading up to rugby preseason.
Stats wise, I'm 6'8 and around 270lbs.
My macros are currently 5% carbs (30g)/35% protein (228g sometimes slightly more)/60% fat (174g).

Am I on the right track here?

Thanks!

Ratios are ok, some need to drop protein below that to get into keto.

From my understanding keto seems to work best when fat is 70-75%, too much protein will interfere with ketosis.
